Business lots don't seem to allow hiring of bouncers

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.80.69.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? EP01 EP02 EP03 EP04 EP05 EP06 EP07 FP01 GP03 GP04 GP06 GP07 GP08 SP01 SP18
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a lot that is of type Haunted Residential Lot or Any other lot type - which is also registered as a business : Eg: a Bar, Nightclub, or just generic - as long as it is a business.
What happens when the bug occurs? When the lot type is a 'business lot' (such as a retail lot) or haunted residential lot - VIP barriers don't provide the option to 'Hire a bouncer' They do however provide the option to set the Celeb Star requirement - but no bouncer options are present and no bouncers appear to man the doors.
What do you expect to see? The Hire a Bouncer option should be available regardless of the lot type or business / non business status of the lot.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

Essentially : 
I am trying to build a bar/club - which is also a business.
However VIP Gates/Doors - are lacking the 'Hire a Bouncer' option when the lot is also registered as a business.

I also noticed the issue is present when the Lot is also a Haunted Residential Lot.

I used 
testingcheats true
bb.enablefreebuild   in order to change the lot types to test the combinations where it works.

It seems to work on Residential, but not Haunted residential
Generic, Nightclub, Bar and Residential - do not allow hiring of bouncer, if the lot is also a business venue. (Eg: retail unit)

  • Have you tried checking settings or files with anything to do with faulty mods or CC if you use it. I haven't yet come across this issue so I think I may be to do with mods like the person above said. Try reloading the game, restarting it, maybe checking for updates. Otherwise, not too sure what you can do.

  • @baaleos Hello!  I wonder if you could double check that you've removed all of your mods.  You might also want to delete the localthumbcache.package file located in the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder because this cache file may carry over some effects from mods.  As far as I know, there is no option to set a lot as a business in the game.  So I'm thinking you may have a mod that allows you to do this.  In order to have a business, sims must purchase  a restaurant (Dining Out pack), a retail store (Get To Work pack) or a vet clinic (Cats and Dogs pack).  In the current version, there is no option to own a bar or lounge.

    Also, I did some testing and can confirm that, on the Haunted House Residential lot, I did not get the option to hire a bouncer from the VIP door.  However, when I added a VIP door to my sim's restaurant, I did get the option to hire a bouncer.  A bouncer did show up when I hired one.  I also tested it the next day and saw a bouncer show up without hiring one.  On other lots, that my sim does not own, I only see the option to set the fame requirement on the VIP door.  I do believe that is intentional.  At any rate, I'm not sure why you did not see the bouncers in your game but I wonder if it might be related to a mod.
